At the conclusion of the course, freshmen gain an appreciation for the powerof modeling physiological systems and can propose their own hypothesis, which they can thentest in lab. With practice, freshmen become more comfortable with the modeling process [3].They understand the value of solving challenging, open-ended problems with multiple potentialsolutions. Engineering students must learn to creatively ideate and assess numerous approaches,often with conflicting outcomes, starting their freshmen year.

It is impossible to achieve sociotechnical integration without an understanding of the socio-cultural context of the problem. § Generally relies on open-ended problems, allowing students to experience tradeoffs in engineering processes.It is important to note that we are speaking of implementation of real-world examples intoengineering curricula and recognize that some classes may be taught in formats other than alecture-based course. Some examples of this could be inverted or flipped classes, active learning,laboratory courses, project-based courses, or discussion-based courses.

Since the turn of the new millennium, there has been national-leveldiscomfort that a traditional curriculum with a focus on technical problem-solving stilloverwhelms engineering education and has not prepared engineers to meet the needs of modern-day engineering1,17,18.
